Seven horses are set to contest Saturday's Dubai Duty Free Derby at the Curragh following this morning's final declaration stage.

As expected Epsom Derby winner Australia heads the list and will once again do battle with Kingston Hill.

The Roger Varian trained sole British challenger Kingston Hill was runner-up to Australia at Epsom three weeks ago.

Australia's trainer Aidan O'Brien is attempting to win the Irish Derby for a record eleventh time and will run a total of four horses in the race this year. His other three runners are Geoffrey Chaucer, Kingfisher and Orchestra.

Local Curragh trainers Dermot Weld and John Oxx complete the line-up with their respective representatives Fascinating Rock and Ponfeigh.

Paddy Power bookmakers make Australia the 1/3 Favourite with Kingston Hill at 7/2. The other runners are priced 14/1 Fascinating Rock, 20/1 Geoffrey Chaucer, 20/1 Ponfeigh, 33/1 Orchestra and 66/1 Kingfisher.
